BOOKWORM ARTICLES

November 8, 2010 - Bookworm is one of PopCap's most successful franchises: available for ten different platforms and boasting over 100 million downloads, it is the world's most popular digital word game. Bookworm for DSiWare has been specifically tuned for dual-screen, vertical use and presents an array of new features and modes that are exclusively available on DS. And with Bookworm proven by the Stress Management Society UK to help relieve stress, there's even more reason to have it in your pocket.

December 1, 2009 - PopCap's classic word game Bookworm is a perfect fit for the Nintendo DS – I'm only surprised it's taken so long to arrive on the system.

This is the basic, no-frills version of Bookworm you've likely burned through many an hour with online, but the word search exercise remains a lot of fun almost seven years after its debut. Any DSi-owning wordsmith will want to download this one. This is one of those games I didn't want to stop playing to write the review.
